Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 144: Hanoi Sima Fang's Request
When Zhang Sui woke up, he found Cai Wenji still sleeping soundly in his arms.

The whole person looks like a sleeping kitten.

The coat she was wearing had already been piled up at the foot of the bed.

Looking at Cai Wenji's little face, Zhang Sui carefully moved away from him and put on his clothes.

The maid has already prepared breakfast.

Zhang Sui finished his meal hastily and asked the maid to keep Cai Wenji's breakfast warm in the pot. Then he rode on Sha Seng and hurried to the camp.

He held a brief morning meeting with Governor Yan Liang, Grand Commander Qian Zhao and others.

The content of the morning meeting was also very simple, mainly Yan Liang arranged the specific training content.

The morning meeting was over and everyone was about to leave. Yan Liang said, "Just a reminder, the lord, the military supervisor, and Zhang He are coming over."

"It's either today or tomorrow."

“I don’t know the exact date.”

"But, behave yourself."

"The Lord has given us so much support."

"Don't embarrass me."

"There's no problem with calling you brothers on a daily basis."

"If you can't use your strength at the critical moment, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Zhang Sui returned to his team and told them the news that Yuan Shao and others were coming to inspect.

After that, he trained with everyone.

Although ordinary people and ordinary soldiers only have two meals a day.

A meal after work in the morning.

After work in the afternoon, I had another meal.

Moreover, this meal after work in the morning is the main meal and is relatively rich.

The second meal is in the evening. Because we go to bed early at night, we usually eat something like porridge.

But cavalry is different.

The cavalry, like the rest of the wealthy families, eat three meals a day: breakfast, noon, and dinner.

After lunch, there is half an hour of rest time.

Zhang Sui then picked up the scroll that Yan Liang had given him yesterday and began to read it carefully.

Before Zhang Sui traveled through time, he liked to follow history bloggers and some retro inventions in short videos.

The content on this scroll was basically the same as the ancient cavalry he had read about by history blogger Ricop.

Zhang Sui glanced at the cavalry beside him.

He had not done much research in this area before.

Just follow this scroll for now.

Zhang Sui only added one thing, which was to offer cultural courses to these people.

The time for cultural classes is after lunch.

Time is short.

There is only one content taught in cultural courses: reading and writing.

For example, among the 500 cavalrymen under his command, only a few could read.

Among the fifty or so people he brought out from the Zhen family, he was the only one who could recognize some words.

Huang Han and others couldn't recognize a single person.

Captain Zhen Hao could recognize some words, but he couldn't even read an article written by Liu Bei in its entirety.

Not being able to recognize words is a big problem.

You may not even understand the map.

Also, delivering the message is not easy.

Zhang Sui remembers watching movies about the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression when he was in school. The martyrs were required to read and write during the war.

Zhang then called the five centurions over and assigned them the task of learning to read and write at noon every day.

For this purpose, we are discussing setting up a class.

Find five people who can read and write, and have them teach the five teams respectively.

Competitions are held on this day at the end of every month.

Zhang Sui himself set the questions.

The team that performs best will receive a reward.

The team with the worst performance will be punished.

If a team performs the worst for three consecutive times, the captain will be demoted to a platoon leader, the platoon leader will be demoted to a sergeant, and the sergeant will be demoted to an ordinary cavalryman. Their vacation will be cancelled for one month, and the original vacation will be used to clean up feces in the barracks.

As for the cavalry under the charge of other generals, Zhang Sui did not care. Today at noon, I taught a word: handsome.

The handsome flag is handsome.

No paper or pen.

Zhang Sui asked them to write directly on the ground with tree branches.

Continue training in the afternoon.

As dusk approached, Yuan Shao arrived!

Came with his personal guards.

In addition to Yuan Shao, there were the military inspector Ju Su and the General of the Household Zhang He.

Yan Liang organized all the cavalry to perform what they had learned in the past two days of training.

It mainly involves archery on horseback, outflanking maneuvers, and two-on-two fighting on horseback.

Yuan Shao watched the cavalry's performance, nodded repeatedly, and said to Yan Liang with a smile: "General Yan has lived up to my expectations."

"I look forward to you creating an elite cavalry."

Yan Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord. I won't let you down."

Yuan Shao looked at Ju Su and asked, "Mr. Ju, do you have anything else to say?"

Ju Su was silent for a moment, then said to Yan Liang, "The Xiongnu and Hedong County Governor Wang Yi have colluded with each other."

"They call themselves Han subjects and are unwilling to be controlled by us."

"According to the intelligence we received, on the day of the Third Emperor, the Xiongnu attacked our Henei County, burning, killing and looting."

"Sima Fang, the head of the Sima family, a prominent family in Hanoi County, organized his troops to fight against him."

"Failed."

"The Huns sent out their cavalry, robbed everything and left without stopping."

"The troops of the noble families in Hanoi County are all infantry and can't keep up."

"Sima Fang has requested the lord to send troops."

"My lord is ready to agree."

"And to deal with the Huns, our greatest reliance is your cavalry."

"If it's just infantry, they'll eventually escape."

"It would be best if we could wipe out the Xiongnu in one fell swoop this time."

"But the chances are slim."

"But we also have to try to inflict heavy damage on them."

"Only by inflicting heavy damage on them can we give a warning to the Xiongnu and the governor of Hedong County, Wang Yi."

"Our main battlefield today is in Youzhou, to capture Gongsun Zan."

"But deterrence is also necessary."

"Otherwise, anyone can dare to act aggressively towards us. Where is the dignity of the lord?"

Yan Liang immediately roared: "I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Yuan Shao smiled and said, "I look forward to your performance against the Huns."

Yuan Shao glanced at Zhang He and said, "General Zhang, didn't you say before that you wanted to see the ability of the commander of this cavalry?"

Zhang He nodded and rode forward.

Zhang He glanced at all the generals, including Yan Liang and others, and said, "I also have a cavalry."

"However, they are my personal soldiers, less than a hundred people."

"When the lord mentioned forming a cavalry, I volunteered myself."

"But General Yan has issued a military order. The cavalry he has assembled will be better than mine."

"It will take too long to wait for you to attack the Huns."

"If you don't become talented, all this time will be a waste of the lord's time."

"So, I will test you now and let the lord see your abilities."

"If it doesn't work, change people as soon as possible."

Yan Liang's face fell.

Look at Yuan Shao.

But Yuan Shao just smiled and didn't look at him.

Yan Liang took a deep breath.

As the first general who followed Yuan Shao in his campaigns, he was more experienced than Zhang He.

Now, Zhang He is provoking him right in the face. How can he survive if he doesn't fight back?
Yan Liang glanced at his three generals: Qian Zhao, Su You and Ma Yan.

His gaze finally fell on Ma Yan, and Yan Liang said coldly: "Let our General Zhang give us some advice!"
